Pros

Most employees are friendly and polite. Pay was decent. Great location. Some employees seem happy and have been there for years.

Cons

Poor training. Conflicting instructions from supervisors, seem like supervisors are not on the same page. No discussions on areas for improvement or direction on how to improve performance, before being let go without warning. I was literally typing up my own work instructions, as I figured my duties out. My supervisor didn’t even know how to do my job fully.

Pros

Cyanotech actually works toward making people feel like they're important and cared about. Poor performance is coached and worked on until it no longer can be- Good performance is rewarded. Benefits are fantastic for all employees and pay is competitive. Profit sharing and stock programs are unrivaled by any company I've worked for. Leadership is taking this company in the right direction.

Cons

Some lack of new/ modern equipment, but it's on an upward trend.

Pros

Type of work is important as it's making purely natural products. Collaboration between departments is good at the non-management level employees.

Cons

Management has "lead by fear" culture, which causes high turnover. Not open to changes. Management says they have "open door" policy, but it's really chain of command.
